The same company that presented the play here last year is here again and gave excellent satisfaction. The play is of the sensational melodramatic type. J. J.

The "Streets of New York" vii! be presented by fine company the latter part of the week. At the showing of the new drop curtain yesterday afternoon the applause was uproarious. In the Muse um hall are the AImonte Diorama and Lit tie Rosine.
 At the performance last evening standing room only was displayed. Those desiring can get their seats in advance from 10 to 12 and from to 6. Owing to the great de- mand it would be very advisable to take ad- vantage of this arrangement.

 A large audience gathered at the Peoples Theater last evening to witness the Four Cards Burlesque company present "Our College Girls" Judging from the number present at last nights performance, and from the tokens of satisfaction,that were displayed, the engagement promises to be a successful one.
